I just learned that President Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, passed away tonight at 7 pm. How grateful I am that he gave practically every day of his life in service to others. I am also grateful for the wonderful example he and his sweet wife, Marjorie Pay Hinckley, who passed away in April of 2004, have been- and always will be- to me. What I know and have learned from this generous, loving, couple will be with me forever. I know that President Hinckley was a prophet of the living God. I'll bet he is so excited to be with his wife once again. I greatly appreciate the Hinckley family- children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren- for their unselfishness demonstrated by sharing their parents with us for most or all of their lives.
BYU also created a slideshow to honor President Hinckley. View it here.

When we heard the news last night, all I could think was how happy I am for him. He lived a long life and he must be so relieved to be with his wife again and moving on. What a fabulous reunion he must be having with past prophets, Marjorie, his parents (remember his mother died when he was young), and others. I love this Plan!
